This city whs vistted will"! a tire today that destroy J one-half of a square in the m of the business distrh t and caused a less of nv r $2i'i,"e. The burning cmbois ic carried for rnll-s, the Kfimi- t:y siihurhs being cov, p d with them. The lite de-l-artnu'iits "f Covincton, N' wport and other Kentucky tuv.nf cam-! promptly to the assistance of the local hrcnion and it was noon bo for tlv ir combined ehorts had the the under oo.p.trol. Crews were at work all the time on the roofs of surrounding buildings and a pom-rat conflagration w as narrowly averted. Tt was perhaps the greatest scare the city ever had, as it was thought at one time that the entire business section of th" t i t y was doomed, and such would have been th" rase if there had been brisk win. is. Joseph S'haefer and John Kee nan were seri.-usly injured by falling walls, but both w ill recover. Although th-re are reports of persons being miss- mi it is r.ot thought that any lives wen? j lost. Captain O'Keefe with seven fire men wrf caught on the roof of one of th buddings and all came near perish ing when the Manes broke out under them, but th--y wore reseued by ladders. The fire has wiped out some of the land niia ks of the oiry. About l:;'e this morn ing flaines were dis.overed in the cellar of Ge.ir;o Joffee's grocery in the Pike. building on Fourth street, between Vine I and Walnut. 'An hour later there was j an exidosion. supposed to eome from i liquor in storage, and the flames soon i afterwards siiot up through the roof of tha six story stone front building and from that time on for several hours the lire was beyond control.

John Keenan. night watchman ed' the American 4ook com pany, was oauuht by falling walls and fatally injured. ltKSCFK OF JONES. The escaoe of Will Jones, the well known Cincinnati actor, just before the' roof of the burning building fell, and his rescue half dead from the top of the building was a thrilling one. Jones' presence of mind, which led him to thiow his cuff into the street below and thus make his whereabouts known seved his life. When the tire broke out Jones was asleep in the studio of an artist friend on tiie fourth Poor. Awak ening suddenly, he was blinded and suf focated by th-- smoke. Outside in the great air shaft the flames were shooting up. How be made his way he does not know, but by some instinct he found the siairw-ay leading to the roof. Fpon reaching the roof he fell over something ami was stunned. When he recovered the flames were shooting through the roof. lie crawled to the edge, hut the firemen in the street did not notice him. He shouted himself hoarse. He took off his cuff and wrote on it: "I am on root, nearly dead from gas Jones." He threw it to the ground and a re porter picked it up and located the figure of a man standing outlined in the sparks. Jones crept along the edge of the rear of the building and there wait ed for the firemen, who placed a ladder j across the alley from the telephone ex 1 change building. Jones was carried down and taken to the hospital. BKAYF. GI1U..S. j The eight girls in the telephone ex change building across the ailey from 'the burning Pike building were badly frightened, as the clouds of smoke rolled about the building. The exchange rooms are on t'ne top tloor of a six story building. For two hours they pluokily stuck to their posts. Whon the flames were blazing in the-r windows they were order-'d out by the firemen. Ijater. .however, th-y returned to "their calls" land whon the large day force of girls came on duty they fearlessly went to the sixth tloor for duty although the jfir rag-d all around them.

General Metealf was shown the ar ticle concerning the revival of the Phil ippine charges today by a State Jour- i rial reporter and wrote the following j statement: T have read the article. .1 think it is an attempt on the part of certain j people to make political capital out of inny reports derogatory to the army in the Philippines and at the same time i an effort on the part of two or three j members of the Twentieth Kansas to do me an injury. i "I nevr shot Filinino prisoners mvself nor ordered others to do so.

Chairman of City Central Com mittee Hasn't Resigned. Report Is Current That He Must Do So. TURNS OVER MONEY. It Is Now in Hands of the Treasurer. More Humors That Hughes Will Giro Up. E. R. Simon may resign the office of chairman of the Republican city central committee. He is finding it difficult to make Kood in his great Roman hippo drome two-horse riding act. His horses persist in going different directions. Simon has two jobs; chairman of the city central committee, and secretary of the Hughes boom committee. His office 1 at the old court house is headauarters I for both organizations. As chairman of! the city central committee he must act impartially with all the candidates. As secretary of the Hughes boom commit- j tee he must do all he can to defeat two of the candidates for mayor. Thus is Mr. Simon torn asunder by conflicting! emotions. He is in a position very much like "Poobah" in the Mikado. j In order to help Mr. Simon out of his delicate situation, it is being emphati-' cally suerrested that Mr. Simon should resign one of the offices. A man could not be a good policeman and run a joint j at the same time, it is suggested, and no more can one man be chairman of j the Republican city central committee I and conduct a Hughes campaign. j Simon would be more likely to resign the ;ob of chairman of the city central j committee than that of secretary of the I boom committee, it is thought. As sec- retary he would practically run Hughes' i campaign. As chairman he would nave to act in a more exparte, judicial stand point. He would have a lot or money at his disposal if he worked as Hughes' manager. Right here there is an important in cident to relate. In Wednesday's State Journal it was stated that Mr. Simon had collected about S77i for the Re publican city central committee which he had retained in his possession instead of turning over to the treasurer oi ihe committee. Since that was written. Mr. Simon has turned ail the committee's money over to the treasurer. C. Heart burg, of North Toiieka. The total amount was 76. The candidates who made tip this fund by their assessments will breathe easier. They were afraid that Mr. Simon might get his dual iden tity mix -stl. it was a case of Chairman Jekil and Secretary Hyde, and thev didn't want Hyde to spend Jekyll's money. Cnairman Simon has not said he will resign, but some of the candidates are beginning to talk among their friends, and word is being quietly passed along to Simon that he is making himself un popular by hanging onto both jobs. The pressure is likely to get too strong for him. The candidates are anxious to bring the thing to a focus before the supervisors for the primaries are se lected. Mr. Simon nil appoint who ever he pleases to these offices, and can if so disposed put Hughes' friends in charge of every voting place in the city. This is what the other candi dates object to. They want a fair deal in the matter. WThen asked today whether he will resign, Mr. Simon said: "I don't know any reason why I should resign as chairman, and I have not decided to leave either office. 1 be lieve that I can be fair to all the can didates. I am not in a position to do anybody any injustice as chairman. I have turned over most of the work to the secretary, Mr. Page. He will attend to the printing of ballots and other preliminaries." The candidates may think differently about this than does Mr. iSimon. He is certainly in an anomolous position, and unless he resigns from something there may be an. opportunity for unfortunate disagreements and strife. There is "something doing" in the Hughes-Bergutidthal negotiations. An obi time Republican politician made the prophecy today that between now and Monday, either Hughes or. Her gundthal will withdraw. Begimdthal says Not I" and Hughes insists that he is not It. There are some peculiar things going on which show clearly that some potent force is stirring up the trouble and Hughes may be forced off the track despite his disposition to make the best interests of the city subservient to his personal ambition. Tbe Rergundthal committee, which was to be appointed to interview- Hughes, and ask him to withdraw, has not been appointed. Neither has the precinct committee ot the North Topeka Rergundthal club. One of the officers of the Rergundthal club said today: "We have not selected these commit tees because we are working on a little different line now. We want to see how this will come out before we appoint these committees." This "different line" is said to be an arbitration scheme which the Hughes penplo have proposed. They want a committee of fifteen, five Hughes men, five Rergundthal men and five to be se lected by those ten, to whom shall be submitted the claims of the rival can didates for consideration, the unsuc cessful one agreeing beforehand to withdraw. Rergundthal savs he will not consent to this. A committee composed of Mar- garet Hill McCarter. Mrs. Garver and i James A. Troutman called on Mr. Ber gundthal Wednesday, and urged him to accept this plan. The committee represented the Hughes faction. Chairman Simon of the Republican city central committee says that the reason the candidates for members of the central committee w-ere not given a chance to draw for places on the bal lot is because the resolution authorizing candidates to draw for places applied only to candidates for city offices. There is no doubt that it was the in tention of the commitee to make it ap ply to all of the candidates whose names are to eo on the ballot, and it the wording of the resolution prevents this, it is probable that another meet ing of the central committee will be held to rectify the mistake. There is soti" talk of a meetirs for next Monday night. Chairman Simon says that none has been called for that date. Some strong protests have been roads against the injustice of not allowing the candidates for membership on the city central committee to draw for places, and these protests are likely to havt effect. There seems to be nothing left of the union labor endorsement of F. A. Levvia except a continuous procession of crim inations and recriminations. The en trance of organized labor into Topeka politics has been a stormy one. Wednesday the State Journal pub lished some resolutions endorsing I-.ewLj which it was claimed had been adorted by the Building Laborers' union No. id 77. They were furnished by N. B. Burdge, an employe in the office oi Labor Commissioner "W. L. A. Johnson and one of the political committee ap pointed by the Trades Council. These resolutions were signed, supposedly, by the president of the union, B. G. Wi liams. It is now claimed by M. 15. Younkin, secretary of the Building Laborers' union No. 9177, that the resolutions are a fake; that the signature of B. G. Wil liams is a forgery, and that no such action has been taken by that union. Younkin claims that the Building La borers' union stands six to one against tire Lewis endorsement. -He claims that no formal resolutions have ever been adopted, the union preferring to take no hand whatever in political affairs. There is a deep and ever widening abyss between two branches of Topeka union men. One branch is -he Trades Council, which includes representatives of the barbers, typesetters and a large number of kindred organizations. The ether branch is the Building Trades Council, a distinct organization com posed of eleven unions whose members work in the building trade. Among the latter are the painteis, carpenters, steam titters, plumbers, electric titters, plaster ers, common lahorers, etc. The Trades Council is the body which indorsed Lewis. The Building Trades Council has officially repudiated this action. The various unions which compose these two councils are not entirely unanimous in their support of the posi tion taken by their respective councils. The barbers and typesetters, for in stance, do not entirely approve of the action of the Trades Council, and there are no doubt many members in the Building Trades Council who oppose the position which their council has taken repudiating- this indorsement. The headquarters of the Trades Coun cil are at 70y Kansas avenue. The head quarters of the Building Trades Coun cil are at 420 Kansas avenue. The Build ing Trades Council refuses to go into the building at 709 Kansas avenue be cause they claim that it was constructed by "scab" labor. The following are the resolutions adopted by the Building Trades Council repudiating the action of the Trades Council: "We the Building- Trades council of Topeka, consisting of eleven building trades unions, desire to state to the press and public, that we are not in any way affiliated with the Trades and La bor council of Topeka. "We, as affiliated unions having a rep resentation of three delegates from each building trades union, making a total of ;;j delegates, desire to state we are not a political body or club, and cannot in dorse any one for any oohtieal office, and that politics are en'i rltu inated from our body while rn session,; and that we will not be dievw-ted to by any organisation or committee of organiza tions. We have no committee out at present nor w-ill we havt? one in the fu ture who will be authorized to carry th3 vote of the Building Trades council or the building trades unions affiliated with it in their vet pockets. Ail official business done by the council'must have the seal of the B. T. C. affixed, and properly signed by the president and secretary. "C. G. DOPDS, "President. "J. M. O'RRIKN. (Seal.)

Highwayman Bobs Him and Carries Him Far Away. Gilroy, Cal., Feb. 2fi. Deputy Sheriff Stay ton attempted to ar est a man at San Felipe suspected of highway rob bery. The bandit covered St ay ton with a pistol, forced him into his buggy, and mounting a horse belonging to a vaquero forced him to drive toward Bell's station for a. couple of miles, when the stranger dismounted, turned loose the horse and got in the buggy, after relieving Stayton of $200 in coin and a watch.

People Are Deserting the Re gion" About Mt. Colima. Eruptions Are Becoming 2Iore Violent Daily. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY lias Been Considerable in the Adjacent Towns. A. A. Kobinson and Party in the Disturbed Section. Chicago. Feb. 2G. The military and civic authorities here received dispatch es from a number of points situated in the region of the Colima volcano, giving accounts of the terrorism that prevails among the people on account of the ac tive eruption of that volcano, says a dispatch to the Tribune from Guadala jara,' Mexico, "ccording to the reports received here from -Tuxpam and other towns situated neas the volcano, the as pect of the eruption is growing con stantly "worse. The people are fleeing from the stricken region, and their ter ror is Intensified by the severe earth tremblings which have taken place at frequent intervals since the eruption be gan. The seismic disturbances have been so severe as to destroy a number of buildings at Tuxpam and in the City of Colima. It is reported that towns more remotely situated also have suffered se vere damage. So far as is known there has been no loss of life. The people are flocking into Manzanillo and more dis tant points by hundreds. A tidal wave is feared at Manzanillo should the seismic disturbances con tinue. There are many thriving vil lages situated close to the base of Mount Colima, and all these are being deserted rapidly. Construction work on the Manzanillo branch of the Mexican Central railroad has been suspended on account of the volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. This line is built to Tuxpam. within a few miles of the volcano, and a force of men was building tunnels on the un finished portion of the line. It is stated that the earthquake shocks have done much damage to these tunnels. A party of Mexican Central directors, accompanied by President A. A. Robin son, is making an inspection trip over this extension, and it in reported that they were at Tuxpam when the most violent eruptions of the volcano took place. Nothing has been heard here from the party, but no uneasiness as to the safety of the members is felt. LEAVES FOR HEW YORK. President Koosevelt Will Attend Wesley Birthday Celebration. Washington.

It Is Making Trouble for the Rock Island. The Hock Island railroad is having a great deal of trouble on the Fl Paso division in the vicinity of Liberal and Bueklin, Kansas. Reports were re ceived -at the Rock Island division offi ces this morning stating that the tracks were covered with two feet of snow. The report stated that a strong wind was blowing but on account of the snow- being wet it had not drifted to any great extent. The several dis patches received from that territory state that the snow which started to fall nignt before last is now from ten to eighteen inches on the level. The snow is affecting the running of the trains a great deal. Fast bound train No. 30 from Fl Paso is now tied up somewhere in that vicinity. All trains from east have been held at points this side of the snow until the tracks can be cleared. Several snow plows which were ordered out are now bucking the snow and it is thought that by tonight the tracks will be in good enough condition for the running of trains. ON MARCH 7.

Vote Will Be Taken in Senate Late Today. SMITH MAKES APPEAL. He Asks the Senators for Fair Play. May Be Trouble Orer Size cf Commission. The senate will, in all probability, take a vote on the final passage of the tax bill late this afternoon and chaneea now are very good for its passage. Senator Fred Dumont Smith, the special cham pion of the bill, is not letting any chance slip to force its passage. He has probably done more work on the tax bill than any other two men in the legis lature, and he has a personal interest in having the senate indorse his work. That is why he made a personal appeal to members whom be has favored in tha past to do something for him now. "I really do not think I have had fair treatment about this bill from some of the members," said Senator Smith. "I have helped most of the other fellows in every way I could. I have drawn up bills for them and aided them in every way I could. No bill has ever remained in my committee without action when a member has been anxious for a report on it. I have always supported the local bills of the members unless I was con fident they were wrong. "That is why I now think I have a right to appeal to them to vote for the tax bill. I have put the best work of mv life on that bill and I don't like to have it go out that the Republican par ty was not able to cope with the taxa tion question. "When I discovered that a secret movement was on foot to beat the bill I made up my mind to appeal for fair plav. I do not claim that the bill was perfect, but I think the members ought to do what they can in the way of sug gestions and amendments to make it better and not kill it outright without consideration. "A few days ago the bill was dead. Now I think the sentiment has set in the other way, and there is a good chance to pass it in the senate. I am not afraid but what the bill will stand on its merits. I think it is a good meas ure and it ought to become a law." Before the senate takes the vote on the bill the house will have begun its consideration, but before it gets very far it will probably know the fate of the measure in the senate. If it passes in the senate the house will then quit sparring arid will get down to real work on the bill. It will undoubtedly make amendments to it different from the ones made in the senate. Then if t'ne conference senate does not concur, committee will be necessary before th bill will be finally passed. Consequent ly the enemies of the bill have every ad vantage. There will undoubtedly be trouble over the size of the tax commission. Some of the members of the. legislature think that a commission of seven members la too large to he effective. They say that nearly all the power and responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the law should be placed on the appointive commissioners whose duty it will be tw look after that matter aione and noth ing else. There seems to be no doubt but what the amendment to mt ke the commission tin of the stat board of railroad assessors and the two appoint ive commissioners was adopted by tht tax committee at its last meeting, al though it does not appear in the report. This would make a commission of seven members. The bill has no such champion in the house as Senator Smith in the senate The only cine of the house members of the taxation commission who was re turned to the legislature was John Francis, and be has had so much work as chairman of the house ways and: means committee that he has not been able to give the taxation bill much per sonal attention. Representative Peck has done more general work on the tax bill than any other member of the house, unless it is Balie Waggener. Waggener is an undoubted authority on taxation ques tions, but he has been making a special tight for certain provisions in the bill more than for the lull as a whole. A new idea on the subject of the tax ation of notes and mortgages will b- sprung by Waggener in the discussion in t'ne house. His idea is to make notes and mortgages bearing more than 5 per cent interest uncollectible in the courts unless they have been listed for taxation. This, he believes, would have a tendency to keep clown the rate of interest. The provision which he wants to tack on to the note and mortgage section containing this feature reads as fol lows: f "provided, all not"?, bonds, and evi dences of indebtedness drawing or pur porting to draw on their face a greater r-ftto of interest than 5 per cent p"r annum, shall be uncollectible in any court in this state unless the same has been properly listed for taxation as hereinafter provide." GIVE ALL A CHANCE. Plan to Divide the Doctors' Patronage Among Schools. Probably the most meritorious bi'l relative to the state hosriitals for th insane before the present legislature is that drawn and introduced by Senator Pestana. providing for the division of the medical staffs of state insane and fppbie-minded hospitals between the three leading medical schools practicing in Kansas. Heretofore in other slates this plan has been followed with bene ficial results upon the management of the institutions the medical director ship beinsf divided between the allo pathic and homeopathic schools. Senator Pestana's bill provides that the medical officers of the three stap hospitals at Topeka. Osawatomie and Parsons, be so selected that the ali-i-pathic. homeopathic and eclectic school shall have control in one institution each.. The purnose of the bill is to es tablish a competition between the three schools of medicine for the most suc cessful administration of the state in stitutions in which they have control. The adoption of this method of med ical superintendence in the state chari table institutions has the endorsement of the medical practitioners in Kansas (Continued on Page Sijci

For kidnap- j it.Er and robbing Christopher Lovely of Tlcdditig. who eo vears old, and two' minutes afterward impersonating- a de- j te tive to get his victim out of the way before he could report the robbery tn the polit e, Mortimer Deloughery of Newark, X. J., was sent'need to not less than one nor mote than three years' im- 1 risi mnient at Wethersfield. I Tlie crime of which I.' loughery was convicted was one of the most dating ver known in this city. Txtvely. who is e typical old New Kngland farmer, came to town to dispose of a load of produi e. ife stopped at a saloon to pet as he ex- i pressed It, "a nip o' sutliin' to kee) the cold out." and met an affable stranger who got Into his wagon with him when be was ready to start for home. Al i though the streets were tilled with peo-i ph- the farmer's companion seized the: r'ins from his hands and before the old i man could expostulate, turned the horse j into a dark lane, throttled the farmer, i i-itled bis pockets, jumped from the wa gon and disappeared in the darkness. j Whip- tiie farmer was trying to col- h-'-t his si -attered wits a man ran Tip to iiim and said: "You've been robbed." "Well, I'll be darned; how did you, ki'in- that," was the surprised answer j of the Itedding man. "I'm a detective," replied the man, "and I'm after the man that robbed you. o-t into your wagon and drive home as fast as you can and come bak on Mon day and report to Cant. Ointy at police headquarters. I'll have your man be fore that." The farmer did as he was directed and at court hour on Monday morning he appeared at the police station and de manded to know if the robber had been caught. The police listened to his story and after a little work arrested De louehery, who denied that he knew any thing about the robbery. Lovely identi ty d the prisoner, however, and persons who had seen the couple in the saloon said that Deloughery was the man who h-ft the place -with the farmer. The jury believed the farmer's story.

Eddie Hanlon Appears in Best of Shape Also. BOTH WORKING HARD. Crowds in Frisco Anxious to Watch Denier Lad. Break the Windows at Champion's Quarters. the San Francisco, Feb. 26. Young Cor bett. who is to meet Kddie Hanlon in a 20-round bout in this city tonight, has deposited with Morris Levy of the Hayes Valley Athletic club the sum of $300 as a guarantee that he will be ready to meet Terry McOovern before Levy's club next month. Corbett is convinced San Francisco is the only city in the country where the men can meet with out violating the law. Over 1,000 people hung around "Voting" Corbetfs training quarters yesterday on Ocean beach and so deter mined were they to see the little cham pion at work that those who couldn't gain admission broke windows where he was boxing and the police had to be called upon to restore peace. In addi tion to his road work In the morning Corbett boxed ten rounds with Monte Audi and William Tardelli in the after noon and wound up by punching the bag and working with gymnasium ap paratus. When he went on the-,seales he was under i;;o pounds, the weight he has to make. He still looks a tritie fat, but says he is fine and strong and does not intend leaving his strength in train ing quarters. He wants to go into the ring full weight. Kddie Hanlon, if any thing, is in better shape than the cham pion. His wind is perfect, and the way he handles his sparring partners shows him to be as strong as a young bear.. For some reason that cannot be ex plained, the odds on "Young" Corbett have shown,a tendency to shorten. Mon day the prevailing price was around 10 to 7 and 10 to 6. Yesterday the Cali fornian's friends were ready with money at 10 to 8. Although there is little pub lic betting, this will probably be the prevailing ring side price. Hanlon is certainly in shape to give anyone a hard battle. He is stronger than ever and fast, although lacking the ring experi ence and generalship of his antagonist. One of the features of this contest is the remarkable interest in "Young" Corf'bett. He has had difficulty in keeping out of the way of admirers who throng his training quarters at the beach. THINKS BAVABLE NOT SOUND. Trainer McDaniel Believes American Derby Favorite Will Not Start. Memphis, Tenn.. Feb. 26. "If Savable goes to the post in the American Derby I will be very much surprised," said Henry McDaniel, one of the most prom inent trainers in the west today, speak ing of the favorite in the Chicago classic. McDaniel has just returned from a visit to Owner Drake's head quarters. He says Savable is not sound, and this fact coming before a saddle has been placed on the Futurity winner has caused Trainer Wishard no liitie anxiet;'. McDaniel thinks that it will reauire all of Wishard's ft. ill to get the son of Salvator ready to uphold the reputation he made by winning the Futurity. H'GOVEEN IN FORM. Knocks Billy Maynard Down and Out in Fourth Round. Philadelphia. Feb. 26. At the Penu Art club last night 4.t' people saw Teddv Mc Oovern, the former featherweight cham pion, defeat Billv Maynard of this citv in what was to have been a six-round con test. Maynard was knocked out in .the fourth round, after receiving severe pumshmert. McGovern adopted his usual rushing tac tics, scoring knockdowns in the first and third rounds. Maynard being on his knees when the gons sounded nt the nd of the third. The !oe;d man made bis best show ing in the second round, holding his own in ;-cv(tal exchanges. McOovern never 1-t up in his rushes, however, and gradually wore his man down with terrific beidy blows. A rii'ht hand blow on the jaw early in the fourth round sent Maynard to the floor and he was counted out. MUNROE TO MEET JENKINS. Catch-as-Catch-Can Wrestling Match Has Been Planned. Xew York.

WESLEY BICENTENARY. President Roosevelt to Speak at Cele bration Thla Evening. New York, Feb. 20. President Roosevelt will be the principal speaker at a bicentenary celebration of tiie birth of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, to be held in Carnegie hall, this evening, under the direction of the New York thankoff ering commission of the Methodist church. Other speakers will be the Rev. Dr. James R. Day, chancellor of Syracuse university, whose subject will be "John Wesley's Gospel," and Bishop Edward G. Andrews, resident bishop of New York, whose topic will be "Then and Now; A. D. 1703, and A. D. I'JOIi." The chairman of the meeting will be Samuel W. Bowne of 35 West Fifty-seventh street. The first Methodist sermon in Ameri ca was pleached in New York city in 1766, and the first Methodist church was built here two years later. In the coming month of June there will be many celebrations throughout the world of the bicentenary of the birth of Wesley. The New York cele bration is held eariy partly because President Roosevelt said he could most conveniently be present and speak at this time. While Methodists are especially in terested in this eelebratien, the Chris tian Work and Evangelist of this city suggests that it should be observed by other denominations as well and calls attention to the fact that nineteen oc cupants of Presbyterian pulpits in New York have come from Methodism. When John Wesley died in 1791 there were in England about 79.000 Metho dists and 312 ministers. In America the number of members was about 50, 000, a total of about 130.000. The re markable progress of Methodism in the 110 years which had elapsed since his death was shown by the figures which were announced at the ecumenical con ference in London in l'JOl: Ministers, 48,334: local preachers, 104,7SB; church es. 89,087; members, 7.659.285; Sunday schools, 81.22S: teachers and officers, 861.392; scholars, 7,077,079; adherents, 24,899,421. TWELVE REAL COLD BRICKS Sent to the Army Office in Helena, Mont,, by Registered Mail. Helena, Mont., Feb. 26. A novel ship ment was received at the United States assay office in this city in the shape of twelve sold bricks worth more than J40.000. They came by registered mail and are the product of the Barnes-King and the Kendall mines in Fergus coun- ty, which John W. Gates and John A. I Drake, of Chicago, are about to pur chase. Mr. Drake is here on a personal in spection. Ten of the smaller bricks rep resented a two-weeks' clean-up at the former mine. They weighed 1.UN0 ounces and were assaved as being worth more than $20,000. The bricks were each in cased in canvas and shipped as ordi nary registered packages. The postage on the packages varied from $3.40 to $12.50 each. The gold will be forwarded to the Philadelphia mint next week.

Beloit Company Organizes to Extend Phone Service. Garden City, Kan., Feb. 2fi. The great excitement of the week has been the application of Laugh in Co., druggists, for permit to sell liquors, for medical and mechanical purposes, which came up before the probate judge on Monday. The attorneys against it knocked out the names of so many petitioners as lacking the necessary qualifications that only 26 were left on the petition, only one more than the number required by law, when the court adjourned until Friday when some more names will be attacked. As we have not a joint in the city, and It has Ik:-en four years since a drug store has had a permit, the majority of our citizens think we can get along without one, and hence there is a great deal of opposition to granting the per mit. Snow has been falling until there is a depth of 12 inches, which will be a fine thing for wheat and alfalfa. This is the third heavy snow this season, and they all went off gradually, tilling the ground with moisture for the spring crops, which was not the case last, year, and consequently crops were short. SETTXE THEIR TROUBLES. Red Men and Woodmen Both to Meet in Emporia in May. Emporia. Kan., Feb. 26. The grand lodge of the Modern Woodmen of America will meet in this city the first week in May. .The trouble between them and the Order of I tod Men has been amicably settled. The latter will hold their carnival at the same time, but have conceded that tiie Woodmen are to have all the hotels reserved. The carnival crew to give the benefit for the Red Men will have private cars on the railroad track to accommodate them, and have tendered the use of their hall to th Woodmen. Their car nival will be in the street, and it is expected to fence in one block for the purpose. AFTER A HIDDEN TREASURE. Neodesha Getting Excited Over Buried Money. There has been a story, said to have originated with the Indians, or an In dian squaw rather, toid often in this locality of;t hidden treasure three or four miles up Fail river from Neodesha. According to, thf old settlers a govern ment train was said 'to have been robbed and a great amount cf mon-:-y was buried near a spring. The spring is now filled up and the exact location of it is lost by the gra.line of the Frisco rail road, but it is believed to have been un der or near a stone culvert in the rail road on J. C. Horney's farm. Within the past few weeks for some reason belief in the "hidden treasure" story has grown stronger in that locali- Millions Reopened on I ,1 A 7! ,v j ir ty, and the neighbors have been digging all around on Mr. Horney's farm. Ac cording to our informant those digging are: J. C. Horney, John Stanley, Win. Hayden and Elmer and Ray Whiteside. In this connection it might be interest ing to note that a Neodesha man wrote to the United States treasury depart ment regarding it and received in reply a letter stating that they had searched the records as far back as 1S49 and can find nothing to show that a government train was ever robbed here.

Nel son Endicott had just been convicted in the Sedan court for selling intoxicants on three counts and had jumped his bond, returning last evening and going immediately to church. It so happened that the party was in the church who worked up the evidence against Endicott. and the minister and congregation being aware of this fact, thought that the whisky vendor's ap pearance at church was for trouble with the one who had given him awav. As Endicott neared the informant, the lat ter, in order to protect himself from bodily harm, jumped to his feet with drawn revolver. This so frightened the minister and congregation that all made a break for a. place of exit, the preacher getting hold of another man's hat atid leaving in great haste for the timber of the town. At noon today the minister had not been heard from. Independence Reporter. BOUGHT FOR STOCK YARDS. Secret of a Kansas City, Kas., Real Estate Deal Is Out. Kansas City, Feb. 3B. By a quit claim deed 22 lots m Riverside, situated on the west bank of the Kaw river, between Central avenue and the Missouri Pacific bridge, were transferred today to K. H. Dwinnell to the Kansas City Stock Yards company. Mr. Dwinnell is connected with the real estate office of O. J. Hubbard, and lands and lots amounting to about 40 acres in Riverside have been recently purchased in Mr. Iswinn-Mi's name. It now turns out that the purchase was made for the stock yards company. Colonel i F. Morse, manager for the stock yards company, when asked about the. purchase, would not state positively whether the land is to be used for the ex tension of the company's yards or whether it is to be the site for the new packing house. "It was the only unimproved tract cf land adjacent to the stock yards which we could purchase," Colonel Morse said, "and as the Kansas City stock yards is ac customed to buying in advance of its ne cessities we concluded to take it in. All cf the property will be transferred to the Kansas City Stork Yards company in the course of a few days." BUTCHER SOLD BAD MEAT. Offense Cost Him His Business and Six Months in Jail.

The cor oner and other officials are investigat ing the cause of the death of Mrs. W. W. Fisher at the Landreth hotel. Fisher and his wife arrived here Mon day night from Pueblo, saying that they were on their way to Clarendon, Tex. It is about as far from this place to Clarendon as it is to Pueblo.

For three years of her acquaintance ship with Mr. Curtis she is said to have lived at 32 Kempton street.

Of catarrh remedies there is no end, but of catarrh cures there has always been a sreat scarcity. There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really cure. The old practice of snuffing salt yvater through the nose would often relieve, and the v ashes, douches, powders and enhalers in common use are very little, if any. better than the old-fashioned salt water douche. The use of inhalers and the applica tion cf salves, washes and powders to i the ncse md throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back lo cure kiuney disease.

THE MULTITUDINOUS TRUSTS From the Minneapolis Journal. 1 The m-oeers and butchers of a large f e e 1 1 o 1 1 of Chicago have announced the organisation cf an association for self I i 'otectiop. The wholesalers have their t ganixat ion, and the labor which they employ has its organization. The re tailers declare that if they do not have fin organization they will be crushed between the two orsanizations with which they have to deal. That is. there is an alleged wholesale trust and an alleged labor trust, and to resist these, or to keen even, there must be a l- taller' trust. The real cause for the c tnbina t ion of t'ne retailers is to main t :.m pri' es and fait an end to competi tion. The wholesalers have made a scale of priees, consequently the retail ers must have a combination to main tain a scale of ;i ices ail of w hich is to put an end to competition which has po often proved ruinous. The wonde is that t'ne Chicago grocers and butchers had not formed a combination long ago. Eunce, either by- formal action or tacit agreement, the prices of groceries and Pleats are established and have been in f roc for years Te, be candid about it. every dealer k-iee that active ceimpe tition in regard in prices would mean ruin, and he v. Hi confess that it is guarded against by some adequate method. Kxeeiit in a few articles for which the producer makes the price, there can be free competition, but the dealers avoid it. The public looks at combinations and trusts sometimes kindly and at other times with hostile intent. There was general approval when it was an nounced that the coal miners and mine operators had agreed upon a scale of wages for next year. But, as a matter of fact, the conference was held for no other purpose than to make a price for labor in coal mines for the purpose of preventing competition. This scale be ing made, no miner can go to the mine cperator with an offer to work for lower wag'-S. On the other hand, if a few- coal dealers agree upon a minimum price for the different grad.es of coal, rh-y are de nounced as enemies of the public. Pro vided that the prices are reasonable, in what respect is the combination of the (ituiei's a greater offense against the public than is the fixing of a wage r. The fact is the trusts and combina tions upon which we expend our indig nation, and which the demagogue as sails In frenzied speech, exist, but they are rot a fraction as numerous and effec tive as the scores of trusts or com binations io maintain prices In every community. Some of these local com binations are harmful, while those which seek to maintain a fair price and a liv ing profit are not in restraint of trade, but are safeguards against bankruptcy and dishonesty in weight, measure and o,ua!ity. A BILL THAT FAILS. Oie important measure which ap pears d'-stined to failuve of enae-.raei'.t by this consress is the one providing for tile conversion of treasury- nor- s into post cheeks for transmission through the mails. Xo serious objec tion, has been made to the bill. Civ icism has been mainly directed to de tails, but it will die from neglect. Commenting- on the plan the Cleveland Plain Dealer said recently: "Obviously this plan has much to commend it. If futind practicable it would lie of enormous benefit to far mers and all persons accustomed to sending in the mail amounts too small to warrant the payment of the post office money order fee or drawing: a check. The scheme's wonderful sim plicity lii s in the fact that the redeem ed and canceled p ost checks can be treated as mutilated currency and not as vouch- rs. The 2-cent stamp attached would, it is claimed, pay for the orig inal cost of the notes as well as foe the work of redeemingr. canceling and destroying them. Under the present system a vast amount of auditing is necessary to keep straight the money order accounts of the thousands of postoffiees. Much of this would be dis pensed with. Neither would it be nec essary to find storage room for millions of small money orders which now have to In- hell as vouchers until outlawed by the statute of limitations. The bill in question provides that all actions for recovery on account of a post check shall be barred after three months. "An incidental advantage of the plan would he that the country's paper cur rency would be continually renewed and the nuisance of torn or dirty bills reduced to a minimum. Above all rea sons for its adoption, however, is its convenience to the public. People would sladly pay the 2-cent tax demanded for the sake of doing away with the an noyance and risk which attended the existing system. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Texas Shows Missouri. St, Louis Globe-Democrat: In the Texas house, on Abraham Lin coln's birthday, the following was passed: "Resolved, That when this house adjourns today it do so in honor to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, this being the ninety-fourth anniversary of the birth of that uni'iue man of American history, whom all nations call statesman, hero, and martyr." This just and weil-expressed resolution was passed without a dissenting vote, and the Texas house adjourned accordingly at the noon hour. Last Wednesday a resolution was introduced in the Mis souri house to adiourn over the follow ing day in honor of Lincoln's birthday. It was voted down. One Democratic member, in a satirical spirit, moved that the resolution be referred to the committee on federal relations, but the Democratic majority contented itself by putting the motion to death without rubbins it in. if a dozen Democrats had reinforced the Republican vote the resolution would have carried, but, ot the more than eighty Democrats in the house, none would do it reverence. "At the Waldorf." New York Press: Very few persons say "Waldorf Astoria." because it: is the American habit to abbreviate everything. The hyphenated hotel is never hyphenated in ordinary conversation. "I arn at the Waldorf" is deemed quite sufficient. A large number of people make the Wal dorf their "hanging out" place, when in reality thev never take a. meal there, and have never seen the inside of a bedroom. At certain seasons of the yeori there is an inilux of hat salesmen here, i They come from all parts of the coun- j try, representing manufacturers. Near- I y all of them put up at the Mills hotel.

The Southern is said to have bought also in the same deal the Alabama Vicksburg. 13 miies long, extending from Meridian to Vicksburs, and the Vicksburgr, Shreveport and Pa cific railway, 171 miles long-, extending from Delta, La., opposite Vieksburg. If this purchase is confirmed, the Southern will have made a new departure in ci ossingr the Mississippi to share in the traffic of the southwest. Warrant for this is found perhaps in the "Frisco" sys tem's crossing the Mississippi two years ago to Birmingham. At Shreveport, near the western border of Louisiana, eonnectioa is made with the Texas Pa- t inc. JAYHAWEEE JOTS. Washington will soon be able to read by electric lights.

Washington, Feb. 26. Senator Bur rows, chairman of the senate committee on privileges and elections today pre sented to the senate a protest signed by Rev. J. L. Leilish. in the case of Senator-elect Reed Smoot. of Utah, urging that Mr. Smoot shall not be permitted to take his seat in the senate. Mr. Leil ish is in charge of Methodist missions m Utah and resides in Salt Lake City. lie is in Washington as the representative of the Ministers' association of Salt Lake. His statement is sworn to. Mr. Leilish declares that Smoot is a polyganiist and now has a plural wife, although he deems it inexpedient to give me maiden name of the lady at this time. His charge on this point is as follows: "That the said Peed Smoot is a PO- rlygamist and that since the admission of Ltah into the union of states, he al though then and there havins a legal wife, married a plural wife in the state of Utah, in violation of the laws and compacts herein before described and since such plural or polygamous mar riage the said Reed Smoot has lived and cohabited with both his leal wife and his rjlural wife in Utah and elsewhere as occasion offered; and that the only record of such plural marriage is the secret-record made and kept by the au thorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which secret rec ord is in the exclusive custody and con trol of the first presidency and the quorum of the twelve apostles of the said church, of which the said Reed Smoot is one, and is beyond the control or power of the protestants. Your pro testant respectfully asks that the sen ate of the United States or its appro priate committee compel the first presi dency and the cuoruni of the twelve aiiostles and the said Reed Smoot to produce such see-ret record for the con sideration of the senate. Your protest ant says that he is advised by counsel that it is inexpedient at this time to give further particulars concerning sui li plural marriage and its results, or the place in which it was solemnized, or the maiden name of the plural wife." Mr. Leilish also asserts that President Joseph Smith, the president of the Mor mon church, is living in open polygamy and has a child born to hizn by his "plural wife" as late as 1S98. And also that "President Lorenzo Snow- lived and died in the practice of polygamy and polygamous cohabitation, and that his pulral wife. Minnie Jensen Snow, bore him a child as late as the winter of 18S6-1S37." HOUSE DODGES AGAIN. Defers Action This Afternoon on the Tax Bill. The house dodged again on the tax bill this afternoon. When it was called up as a special order at 2 o clock this after noon, Representative Bevington moved' that it be laid over for another day. Balie Waggoner immediately objected. He said he thought the consideration of the bill ought not to be further post poned. Meade of Mitchell said he wanted to express himself on the tax bill, no mat ter what the senate does, and he wanted to go ahead with its eonsidei ation. Representative Francis made a speech, which sounded as though he thought the bill ought not to1 be further post poned, but later he said that it would be a waste of time for the house to go ahead and amend the bill until it sees what the senate does with it. Then a vote was taken postponing action on the measure. The house is becoming exceedingly expert in dodging the taxation question. CANDY STORE BURfiED. The Fireworks Exploded Caus ing Some Excitement. Thomas TVPui's confectionary and fruit store at 121 West Eighth avenue was near ly burned out this afternoon at about 2:30 o'clock. The origin of the tire is much of a mystery. De Pui himself was standing outside of the store. A colored woman was at work inside cleaning up. The wo man says that the first thing she knew of the fire it was biasing briskly above her head among some papers. ft seems likely that the awning on the outside of the store took tire from soot and burned in through the window casing before it was discovered. There were some fire works stored in the building and some of them exploded, causing foiiis; excitement. The stock in front of the building was nearly oil burned up, but the loss will be covered by insurance. The damage to the building is slight. statFfair bill It Is Passed by Senate Commit tee of Whole. The state fair bill was recommended for passage by the senate committee of the whole this afternoon.

To the Editor of the State Journal: Will you kindly permit me to make a personal correction in your Tuesday's report of our Bergundthal meeting of Monday evening, where I am made to say that I regard Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter the best woman I ever knew. I would not for a kingdom say she is not the best woman in Topeka, but I have no right to presume upon her acquaintance for we have never met, much to my regret, and probably she has never even heard of me. What I did say was. that "I regarded her as one of the brightest and best women in Topeka and the writer iff the best and purest Knglish of any woman in Topeka. so far as I knew." I judged only frcim her writings. It was my ad miration of the woman, and belief in her sincerity and geneial good judg ment that led me to express a keen re gret, softened with sorrow, that one so gifted and gentle and pure in heart should possibly be misled by the wiles of modern politicians, whose ways are sometimes beyond the ken of the shrewdest of men, even when exper ienced in party methods, and who caD always come in closer contact with par tisan vileness than is even possible for a pure woman to witness even at a distance. Possibly I may owe Mrs. McCarter an apology for even the men tion of her name, and if so it is hereby offered. It would have been well if your re porter had also noted one expression of popular sentiment at the Bergundthal meeting Monday evening, when one speaker said he wished to announce publicly that even if Col. Hughes was nominated for mayor he would not vote for him. No sentiment uttered seemed to meet with more unanimous assent and Mr. A. M. Kent responded distinctly. "And the woods is full of them." Such sentiments ar pointers. It is clearly evident that Mr. Hughes cannot be nominated, and if nominated it is iunt as clear to many that he could not be elected. Will the friends of Mr. Hughes persuade him to withdraw and permit the people to select an indepen dent candidate, provided Mr. Bergund thal will do the same? G. F. KIMBALL. Station "A," Topeka.

The Secret of His Animus at Last Leaks Out. Uli. BOBBINS WINS. Ills Antelope Protection Bill Goes Through House. ilr. Ben Schnierie Arrires on the Scene. The Automo-bUI of senator Morehouse has passed the penate. If it is equally successful in the house, the wild terror of. the plains will never aeain be per mitted to ruthlessly kill and destroy our cattle and young children. The auto uughto be restricted, said Senator Storehouse, and strange to relate, the majority of the senators seemed to aeree with him. This was owing, prob ably, to the fact that none of them are autnmobihacs. ."o sane auto owner would stand calmly by and see -the fa--orite pastime of his guild torn to thin shreds by one medium size senator. They would rise utj and howl for their rights. Things would be doing:, if the Ortit-r of United Automobile wagonists were properly represented. As it was, a few senators played horse with Mr. Morehouse and then sac down and saw his bill slide through. i It has often been wondered why Sen ator .Morehouse was so bitter against the 'devil wagon." Last night a man from Morris county said that the popu lar opinion in Mr. Morehouse's own bail iwick was that lie had been chased from the Neosho to the Cottonwood and back by a runaway traction engine. Never having seen an automobile, but haviner frequently read of them in Hos- tetters almanac. Mr. Morehouse decided I that he would save his country. j An ancient Roman poUtiuan. a mem- ber of the delegation which waited on Mr. Cincinr.atus at the time of his transformation from an agriculturist to I the Real Thins, has broken into the Kansas legislature. The gentleman's j name is Tagiiabus. Mr. Tagliabus got, in by way of a bill to oppose the kero- ser.e habit in coal mines. It seems that j Mr. Tagliabus was a member of the j Athenian oil trust, and being- treasurer of the company a new system of tests and measurements of oil were named after hint. Therefore the degrees of eravity in certain oils are known as "deprees Tagiiabus." The bill by which i the gentleman from Athens was intro duced to the house, is to prevent care- less miners wealing head decorations loaded w ith hisrhly inflammable oils. such 1 as kerosene, gasoline, benzine, wood al- rohol. etcetera. It provides that only animal or vegetable oils may be used, and they must contain certain degrees: "Tabliabus" of gravity. j One senator who has not made much raoise. but .cets there just the same, is Senator McKnight of Geary and several other counties. He wears a Bismarck i i SENATOR M' KNIGHT FFt"M GEARY AND OTHER CAUNTIES. eye and a carefully manicured face. His movements are slow and dignified, and he changes neckties frequently. There is not a man who can sit down on a chair or an obnoxious bid with more grace than the senator from Geary and other counties. He has been called the Chesterth.'id of the senl.e. Kv. Representative Robbins' antelope anti-shootency bi?l passed the house r yesterday with a score of 100 to Xi. i When the Robbins bloom again the fes i tive animal of the plains may raid the I garden sas of th frontiersman without i fear of death.

Great Importance That Children Have Proper Food. Of A child wi'l grow- up with weak and small bones or strons and sttiry frame, depending on the kind of food given. That's why fee. ling the youngsters is of such great importance. The children do not select th food the rescorisibi'.ity rests with the parent or guardian, or w ith you if you selet t the food far a boy 1 or girl. The scientific selection of this food j should begin as early as possible. That's i when the delicate little plant needs the tenderest care.

"The doctors changed her food several i times, until finally she was put on Grape-Nuts, which she relished from the first and ate at almost evetv meal and her recovery has been wonderful. Shtr has been gaining ever since in strength and weisht. j "i'he has eaten dozens of packages of Grar-e-Nuts in the last year and a half and the child is now a rosy-cheeked an i healthy iiti'e girl, still clingir-g to her Grape-Nuts. j "It is plain the food has saved her life I by giving her body the needed material j to keep it well and the bone material to build with."

Count Rr.ni Cas tellane has left for New York, says the Paris representative of the American. Before embarking at Cherbourg he said "The primary object of my visit is to see my relatives and friends and bring back my wife and children. I shall also visit Florida. "While the trip gives me pleasure, it is one of duty also. I would like much to speak in lb I'nited States about in creased ties uTid even a formal alliance between France and the I'nited States. This is the psychological moment for such an alliance, particularly as tier many Is showing an extraordinary ap petite for extra European territory. "If we had such 'an alliance neither England nor Germany nor. any other country could upset the peace of the w-orld. nor could all combin-d do so. for very soon the American navy will be the greatest in the world, just as our submarine tieet is now- the strongest. The grandest spectacle of the Twen tieth century would be to see the two greatest democracies dafying the omi btned monarchi-s of Europe.

In a paper read before th Philadelphia County Medical society Dr. C. K. lie M. Sajous reported a discovery which, if his deductions be correct, may revolutionize the field of medicine. His discovery, in brief i that the pituitary body, heretofore thought use less, is indeed one of the most important organs of the body when its functions are understood. From Dr. Sajous' investigation, cover ing a period ot fourteen years, five of which were spent in Paris, he is con vinced that this pituitary body is a governing cent-r which is not only isi tive in its effect by controlling the oxygen in the system, but equally posi tive in responding to medkines and drugs. When this fact is firmly established and understood medicine will no longer be administered hypothetic-ally, but it will become an applied science. Under these conditions, cettain medicines wiil be given and assured results obtained. The discovery, it is said, will also be the greatest since the cilscovety of anaes-th-sia. The "governor of the body," or pitui tary gland, is a small ovoid body at tached to the under surface of the cere brum. It has two lobes, the anterior and posterior, the former resembling a duct less gland and the latter shov ing indica tion of nervous elements. It forms an integral part of the brail.

Governor of Illinois Threatens to Kill an Editor. Chicago. Feb. 26. Richard Yates, governor of Illinois, nas threatened to kill the editor of a weekly society pa pier in this city because of an article published about Mrs. Yates. Accompanied by Colonel J. H. Strong. I Governor Yates is said to have- paid a v is it to the office of the Club Fallow, in the Auditorium building, and threaten ed to snoot Editor Hardin. The call 1 was made some time ago, but the cir- cumstances have been guarded with such rigorous care that they did not i become publie until today. Roth men j are still in fighting mood, arid m?y j open hostiiiries at any time. I "1 have 8.000 men at my back." Gov- j ernor Yates is alleged to have shout-al to Hardin, "and I would pardon any 1 one of theni who killed y u. I am gov- ettiur. I cl jtt't care a snap of my fingej: i for any danger that might confront me i I for shooting you down. I would be j free in an hour." Governor Yates held his hand in bis overcoat pocket, where he said he had a revolver. Editor Hardin also had a j revolver in one of his trouser pockets, j and is said to have told the governor 1 that he had him "coverer!" with his weapon, and to have added. "It any shooting is started I will take a hand." I Editor Hardin said this afternoon that 1 -he did not care to talk about the mat iter. Governor Yates, in Springfield, was 'greatly agitated when asked to make a statement. If so happened that Colonel Strong is his guest today. The two men retire! to the private office in the executive mansion and talked for an j hour. At the end of this time Governor i Yates announced that he had nothing I to say at present. The trouhl" between Yates and Har- din dates back to the visit of Prince Henry to this city. Hardin's newspa per appeared with an article in which 1 CURED BY I White Ribbon Remedy No taste, no odor.

He heard the angry voices outside and suspecting trouble. 1-ft his office by a rear door and made his way to the ele vator. "Send a policeman up to my office duick. I think there is going to be trouble," Hardin is said to have told the ei-vator man. While he was talking to the elevator man Governor Yates and Colonel Strong came out of the office. "This is Governor Yates," said Col onel Strong. "Yes, I am Governor Yates, and I am going to settle w ith you light now," the governor is said to have answered. "I Want ti tell you that I would kill you like a dog. I want you to know you cannot put my wife's name in vour paper. I am governor, and as governor I can call on x.OOf men." "Now, there won't be any killing." Hardin is said to have answered, "if Vhere is I will take a hand in it." Hardin leaned back in his chair and informed the two men that he had his hand on a revolver and would shoot if a violent move were made against him. HE MAKES A CHANGE. Maj.

Positive That Prisoner Held Him Up. Had Kaifee Admitted Buying HeToi ver at Topeka Store. The possibilities of mistaken identity were proven in the district court room Wednesday afternoon when Frank Kai fee was tried on the charge of holding up Frank Lewis, and half a dozen other people, on the night of September 12, IL'02, and was acquitted. j That night a man began operations on i Kighth street in front of the Catholic I church. He began holding up people as he journeyed west on Kighth to Harri son and north on Harrison. Near Sixth and Harrison streets he held up Frank Lewis, shoved a large sized six shooter close to his face and in a determined voice demanded all his money. Lewis ib. imw 4. anu tneii giappitrvi uu i.,. for a moment. The man broke away and ran north. Lewis had a good look at him in the moonlight during the struggle and several others who were held up saw- his features in the moon light. The police were not unduly active in the case for some time afterwards. The day of the holdups H. B. Howard sold a laree Colt's 45 calibre revolver 1 and a heavv belt and scabbard to a I man. A few days after the hold up Howard received a letter from a man stating that he was the one who bought the bis revolver and the man who held up the half dozen people just around the corners from a few well tamed po licemen. He poked fun at the jiolice and said that the escapade was done in fun and that the Topeka police, were "sleeoy." Then the police remembered a man with a large revolver, a big cartridge belt, a bowie knife, a rille. a broad brimmed hat and high-topped cow puncher boots who was in Topeka on the day of the hold ups. Circumstantial evidence, with the letter as the con necting link, pointed to this man as the robber. On November 26 a man with high-topped boots, a big hat, a large cartridge belt and a big revolver slung thereon was spied by Officer Miler and arrested as being the hold up man. He wore the pistol and belt which Howard sold to the man who claimed to have been the one who wrote to him bragging of the fun he had with the Topeka po lice by performing the series of holrt tips. Mr. Lewds positively identified him as the man who held him up. Frank Kaifee Was the name of the man and the same man who bought the pistol from Howaid and had his name engraved on the tandle of the weapon. The police claimed that Kai fee even made some admissions of guilt. The whole trouble seems to have been that an Oregon ranchman came to peaceful Kansas clad in the armor and fighting paraphernalia -which causes no excitement in the northwest but which looks suspicious here. If Kaifee had worn a silk hat in Topeka he would not have been arrested. If he had worn a silk hat in the country he comes from his life would have been in danger. The trouble was Kaifee did as the Komans do, in Oregon, but he forgot to change the customs and rules for wearing ap parel as he changed geographical loca tions. The testimony given at the trial shows that someone was mistaken. Lewis testified that Kaifee was the man w ho held him up. He was positive. The police gave circumstantial evidence which seemed to fasten the guilt upon Kaifee without question. The testimony for the prosecution was short and sup posedly det isive. Then Kaifee took the stand in his own behalf. He wore a big i brimmed white hat with red, white and blue oil cloth woven into a fantastic band for the decorations of the head piece. He wore leather cuffs. He walk ed in typical high heeled cowboy boots that would gladden the heart of any dime novel reader. On the table was the big- leather cartridge belt, heavy enough to make a surcingle for a sixty j pound cowboy saddle. On the belt was a scabbard holding a bowie knife and a holster holding a big Colt's revolver. The belt was brazen with cartridges. Some thought the outfit should be prima facie evidence that Kaifee was guilty. Then Kaifee t dd Ins story. He said he was in Topeka September 12. He admitted buying the revolver and ad mitted that three inquisitive police stopped him and inspected the gun. He said he got on the Rock Island train at 8:2.0 o'clock bound for Oregon. If he could prove that his alibi would be perfect. His attorney. C. A. Magaw, introduced testimony from half a dozen passengers on the train who remember ed talking with Kaifee between To peka and F.elleville at the time when the hold ups were made. The conductor testified to taking up Kalfee's ticket. The passengers remembered that Kai fee talked about alfalfa, prunes and sugar beets in Oregon. A colored po liceman remembered that Kaifee with all his shooting iron and boots got on the train. Judge Hazen was convinced of the alibi and instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. Kaifee was elated. The police were mad. Kaifee did not appear like a man who would hold up half a dozen people, and his alibi was perfect. The police will now look for some other man who wears high-topped boots, carries a big gun and is harnessed ill a leather cartridge belt. Kaifee has hiked out for Oregon, where he can move and breathe with., out fear of Tooeka policemen. Still some things about the hold ups seem tin-explainable. Kaifee was iden tified by Lewis. Howard identified him as the "man who bought the gun, and someone, claiming to be the man who bought the gun. wrote to Howard and acknowledged that he was the highway man bold. The man who held up the people fired several shots. F.xperts testified that the revolver bought from Howard had never been fired. It will take a Sherlock Holmes, a Nick Carter or a Hawkshaw to clear up the mystery. Followed a Fad to Her Death. Chicago. Feb. 26. The funeral of Miss Cora Dean, better known as "Koradine" who had achieved renown as a writer of short stories, took place here yesterday. Miss Dean died yesterday of scarlet fe ver, after an illness of a week. The fact that the voting authoress has restricted her diet lor sometime to uncooked foods a. accustomed to omit the morning mead in pursuance of a system exploited by a local physician is believed by the mends of Miss Dea-n to base rendered her peculiarly -uspeetible to the disease which caused her death and her death is in a measure attributed to these practices. IT LOOKS BRIGHT. (Continued from First Page.) as a practicable way of elevating the standard for care of the insane and feeble-minded charges of the state. The bill is now on the calendar and a strong effort will be made to have it put through before the final adjournment of the aegislature. The senate this morning adopted the house concurrent resolution for the in vestigation of the insane asylum scan dal. A week ajro the senate decided to investigate the mismanagement charges on its own initiative. The house ha concluded to take part In the investi gation and prepared a concurrent reso lution with that object. The senators who were appointed for the senate iit vestigation have been transferred to the joint committee called for in the new resolution. At noon today the fifteen senate pages sat for a group picture. This is the reg ulation thing to do. The newspaper men about the legislature had theirs taken a week ago. The coal famine committee's bills were taken up on third reading in the senate this morning and the bill providing fo a heavy fine for the confiscation of coa: belonging to state institutions was passed. At request of Chairman Noftz ger of the committee the bill referring to the confiscation of private coal by rail roads was laid over. A meeting of the investigation committee has been called for this evening to consider some ob jections that have been made to thi: bill. FOB STATE INSTITUTIONS.

FUN WITH LELAND. House Fines Him a Barrel of Apples for Carelessness. The house in general, and George J. Barker in particular, had fun with Cy rus Iceland when his bill creating tne office of state architect came up for final passage. Mr. Leland has been making it a point to see that all bills are amend ed to become, in force after publication in the statute book instead of the offi cial state paper, unless there is some reason why it should go into effect im mediately. Mr. Leland explains that this saves the state the cost of publication in the official state paper. "I figure I have been saving the state $100 a day," he said, re cently. Notwithstanding this, when his own bill came up it provided for publication in the official state paper. Thereupon Representative Barker ex plained his vote. He said that inas much as the author ot the bill had com mitted the grave error of having it pub lished in the official state paper he should have to vote no. This caused a laugh in which Leland joined. After the roll call had been finished Barker said the author had explained that this was an oversight, and he changed his vote to aye. Then Dolley moved that Leland be fined a barrel of apples, wh'ich carried. The bill gives the governor power to appoint a state architect, who shall hold office at the pleasure of the governor and receive a salary of $2,400 a year. The architect is designed to take the place of the state house architect, and will do all architectural work for the state instead of only the state house work. It is estimated that this will save the state several thousand dollars a year. FA YOU AUBITUATI0N Many Business Organizations Endorse the Plan. New York, Feb. 26.

House Passes Hesolutlon to Fut Stop to It. When Balie Waggener's resolution ty stop the contracting of prison labor o private individuals and corporations where the labor of the convicts comes in competition with free labor, came up for consideration Speaker Pringle sprung a substitute for it. Waggener's resolution suggested the working of a three-foot vein of coal which lies 4uo. feet deeper than the present vein. This would come into competition with the coal miners and Speaker Pringle ob jected to that. His substitute was as follows; "Whereas, The board of directors of the Kansas penitentiary in managing that institution have made contracts under existing laws for the employ ment of convicts in the penitentiary; and "Whereas. Such policy and practice on the part of the state of Kansas brings honest free labor in competition with convict labor to the detriment and disparagement of thousands of labor ing men of the state of Kansas, who. by honest toil, support their families and aid and assist in the material pro gress of the state; therefore be it "Resolved, 'That it is the sense of this house, the senate concurring therein, that such policy is unwise, and not to the best interest of tne people of this state, and that hereafter said institu tion should be so managed and con ducted that convicts be employed at such labor only as will not place them in competition with the free labor of this state, except where it is absolutely necessary to keep the convicts em- ployed." Waggener immediately accepted Prin gle's substitute and called for a roll call on the passage of the resolution. It carried by a vote of 72 to 24. Those voting in the affirmative were: Adams of Sedgwick, Baind. Ballard. Barnd, Beeson, Betts, Billings, Bow man, Broadbent. Brown of Labette, Bucklin, Campbell of Bourbon, Chan dler, Daugherty.

We were out last winter for eipht weeks. I hope to be here next winter with an indoor circus. Each winter we change the list of performers to give new acts." Every well resulated circus has a "circus baby," and the indoor has on. The baby is Helen Carroll, 18 months old, and the daughter o Mr. and Mrs Charles Carroll. Mrs. Carroll, Nettie Carroll on the bills, does the uerform ance in the Roman rings and ridine the bit-vole on the slack wire, and sne is a strikingly beautiful woman. Mr. Car roil is treasurer of the Shipp circus. Mrs. Carroll has been performing since she was two and a half years old. She belonged to the Stirk family of bicycls riders, and was with the Sells circus Mr. Carrol! was with the circus in the capacity of school teach"!'. Every big canvas circus has a school for the chil dren of the performers. Mr. Carroll sold reserved seat tickets, played the calliope and tausrht the school. Miss Nettie Stirk was 15 years old and a stu dent in his school. At Bryan, Tex., they "eloped" from the show' six years ago and were married. Last night Mrs. Carroll sat in the dressing room, clad in her ring costume and enveloped in a big bath robe, and rocked the baby car riage where the circus baby lay. Mr, and Mrs. Carro'I will be with the Sells Forepauch show this year. which opens in Madison Square garden. New York, in a few weks. Mr. Carroll will continue to play the calliope. There is is another circus baby, but not with th show. It is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hobson, who do the double jockey act. They left the child at home. This morning Homer Hobson had on of his his: white horses in the rintj eo- linsr thiough a little extra work. The horse was sulky last nisht. and to pay for it Hobson put him through an hour's Indoor Circus Man, performance this morning-.

Senator White has, at the request of some of his small land holder constit uency, introduced a bill to repeal one of the laws of 1901 which will doubt less bring down a fight from the big cattle men of the western part of the state. The law which is desired to be repealed is chapter 225 of the laws of last session which permits the fencing of large tracts of land inclosing the county roads and small feeder proper ty. The present law requires that the proprietors of such fences shall main tain gates at suitable intervals apart. An effort to give district judges In the big and busy districts a fair salary is being made by Senator Cubhison in a bill which he introduced in the sen ate this morning. It provides that in districts which contain cities of the first class the judge shall receive a salary of $3,000 per year. There are six such districts in Kansas. These courts are busy for almost the entire. year. In many of the western districts the court's business does not require his attention for more than two or three months out of the twelve. At the pres ent time the salaries are uniform. 'Wulfekuhler of Leavenworth has in troduced a bill for the appropriation of $750 for the maintenance of a home for aged and orphaned negroes at Leavenworth. The home is now in op eration hut on account of the inability of the negroes of that place to support it. they desire to deed the property to the state in consideration for its future support. LEGISLATIVE SIDELIGHTS. The house has passed Rohbins' ante lope bill by a vote of 100 to 0. Campbell's local option proposition has been eliminated from the house cal tnda.r. Capt. J. G. Waters' claim for $300 i? the Riggs judicial contest case, has been turned down by the house ways and means committee. The bill malting the state mine in spec-tor also an inspector of weights ani measures has been passed by the house. The house ways and means committee has reduced the appropriation for the sugar beet bounty from $20,000 a yeat i as asked for by Representative Kinnl I son, to $3,000 a year. I A lot of sheriffs are in Topeka lobby- ing for the passage of some special bills to provide for the payment of their ull der-she! iffs by the counties instead oi j by themselves. j The anti-grain trust bill, introduced j bv Godshalk of Rice, which is aimed at i the Kansas. State Grain Dealers' associ lation. has been reported favorably by the house committee on state affairs. S. L. Patterson, sheriff of Woodson county, lost a pocketbook containing $0 and seme valuable papers in the house Wtdnesday night. It was found by G. W. Husted, a doorkeeper, of Odefi. Rooks county, and it was duly returned to the owner. Representative King's bill to prohibit a person f rom holding two state jobs at a time has been killed by the fee and salary committee. There are too many members of both houses who hold, or expect to hold, other jobs than their legislative offices. Nation's X'eosho county court house bill was signed by Governor Bailey t.hi3 morning and is now a law in the shape that Senator Carpenter amended it. to leave it to a vote of the neople. This is the point on which the house and sen ate locked horns and Nation and Car penter headed the conference commit tee on the subject. Nation gave way to Carpenter, and the bill went to th gov ernor as Carpenter wanted it. BEGOuE COSTIVE! The change in diet and drink ing water, the motion of the cars, the irreg ular habits of t ravelers, no matter whether they travel on business all the time or for pleasure occas i IMWEIEOS it o1 j- ionally, usually result in a con stipated condition of the bowels or some stomach or bowel trouble. Travelers should always have a bottle oi Dr. Caldwell's yrup Pepsin with them. It is a pleasant liquid lax ative and a certain cure for sick head ache, train sickness and ail stomach trouble.

"i liowtw." '.''here are two very great playwrights today, Ibsen and Rostand, and many good ones, but the so called literary theater going public has not yet learned to appreciate the master mind at its proper- valuation. Henrik Ibsen stands at tic- top, and his works are entrancing si tidies of human nature. There are writet s who give us morbid subjects v. hich in their exposure to the glare of the footlights only reveal human vices or frailties in a uselessly revolting MRS. GARRITA NASH AND HER BALLAD CONCERTS. Mrs. Garrita Nash, an energetic Milwaukee woman, hit upon a novel and attractive entertainment when she conceived the idea of giving ballad concerts t nroughorrt the country. Her enterprise has been so weli rewarded that the next lour of her halladists will he much broader in scope. At the concerts is heard Ihe most beautiful ballad music of all countries and ail times, and one aim of Mrs. Nash's unique idea is to make reputations for American musicians who (leserv to be heard, but have not been given an opportunity to distinguish themselves. Mrs. Nash is the daughter of Captain Garrett Barry, a graduate of West Toint many years ago, and is a cousin of Mrs. William G. Choate of New York. The Froth of Existence manner even when magnificently nlu- minatod by the genius of Duse. Other I authors offer for our young men and women plays like "Ins and Saza, and these find ready patronage. But j the inspiration of Ibsen gives us the cause and effect, and each line, each word,, must find echo in the lite expe rience of some one or other of his hear ers. Not a character, not a sentiment, is put in to tiring a situation or climax, anil even the humblest person material ly aids in the natural development of the topic tinder discussion. At the -Manhattan theater Mary Shaw, under the direction of George Fawcett, gave several performances of Ibsen 8 "Ghosts." Five characters and three scenes are necessary to demon strate the-inexora bleness of the dictum, "The sins of the father are visited upon the children." and, though a forcible story is used to explain this truth, we know that extreme methods are some times necessary to teach a moral to this generation. Not a -word in "Ghosts" can bring the blush to any one w ho wit nessed it. for when "dangerous" points are discussed it is done in a wholesome way and for a purpose. When in the audience can be heard "That is true," "I think he is right." "1 know people just like that." it can be seen that life is being shown and that it is not un necessary to teach through the stage those lessons human beings will not learn in a less interesting way. We will all take our medicine if you disguise the disagreeable taste. An Kicellent CaM. i i Five excellent artists are cast for the characters in "Ghosts," and five types, i or. ratle v. distinct natures, are shown. Kach is important and weii drawn. The least good of the all good cast was Maurice Wilkinson, the Pastor Man dels, a man guided strictly by a rigid I sense of morals and duty and a harsh

problems of life, the real relations of i .,.li,---"SH judge of the frailties of others. It was a difficult part to play convincingly, and the effect was not quite so true as it might have been. Charles A. Gay as Ja cob Engstrand shows the opposite qual ities a man of low and debased habits, a carpenter by trade, but one whose life is a fawning, deceitful effort for his own amelioration at the expense of the good name of any who come in his way. He trades on the open character of the pastor and lives and acts a scoundrel while appearing an abjectly grateful penitent. It is a well sustained part and one easy to overdo. Regina Engstrand. the maid, was a wonderful piece of cunning work in the capable hands of Virginia Kline. This lady is evidently a careful student of lights and shades, and in her rule they chase each other in close succession. A young and comparatively unknown act- J v-: 'A 2 lV MtJIvoY TWO SCENES FROM Frederick Lewis, gave a masterly l performance of Osw ald A lying and can teach many things to some of our Broadway leading men. He is an artist, I and if he is young has a marvelous fu i ture before him. Now for the lady who is playing the i principal role of "Ghosts." Mary Shaw I is a woman who goes through a play as j if she were living it in actuality. There is not a moment when she is not Mrs. Alving. the slave to a wife's duty and a mother's love; a lone'ty creature whose blighted life has not a ray of sunshine 1 and who tries to so live it that the world will not question. It is sad to re alize how many Mrs. Alvings there are in this world, good, high minded wom en who are sold through worldly mar riage to profligates who because of their sex are excused for excesses which would cause a woman to lie a pariah in society, society which shakes the hand j of a roue and draws the skirts aside from contact with his victim. The consequences of this .are shown in j the son. who inherits his mother's de sire to live a good life, but from his fa ther he has the birthright of unlawful tastes. To avoid what he deems his own frailty he works at art till his mind becomes slightly upset. The noble ideal of his worthless father which his moth er has unceasingly developed for his happiness prevents his attributing his moral weaknesses to inheritance, and the self abasement when he feels that he is unworthy of tiis parents causes so much agony that to relieve his morbid view' the truth is told him. The truth comes too late, and the tottering mind breaks down after all. The wretched mother has suffered in vain; she had sold her self to a marriage without love. What a lesson is here taught! Th" acting of Miss Shaw was not act ing; it was as if she was simply lifting the veil from her own life for our good. She is a powerful exponent of the Duse school, showing repression and eonvov ing every emotion by voice and expres sion. RKF.FCCA (ITTOLEXGL'I. New York. WHAT GRIFFITH SAYS. "These good tini' S for the ball play ers, good salaries and plenty to do, are going to be their ruin, I fear," said .Manager Clark Gtiflith of the Chicago White Stockings the other day. "How? Because they have become too independent. Such a thing as disci plining a ball player is almost unheard of these days, because if he feels that he is being ill treated, no matter how much he deserved bis punishment, he can walk off. leave his team and get a job without difficulty with almost any other Ifam in the country. "There is a dearth of good ball play ers, owing to the demand created by the organization of two major leagues, and there are, not enough to fill the places. Consequently some minor league tim ber must be used. The result is that 1 no matter which it is that gets on his high horse, the crack player or the mi- nor leaguer, it s all the same. A few days of vacation will land him in an other berth as soft as the one just left. For this reason a manager has prac- tically no control of his men. They can do as they please and play ball or not, as suits them. "This war between the two big leagues is the ball players' harvest, financially, but it is sure to be the ruin of many of the best men too. Whenever I the time does come that these ieagues get together and have a mutual under j standing between them respecting each other's contracts and refusing to em- x t ploy a man unless unconditionally re leased by the club that owns him, these men who have run riot during this time of chaos in the business will And it al most impossible to curb themselves to the rules and regulations that will be made and enforced by the managers and club officials. "Rebellion in a few cases will proba bly result, and those men will pass out of the game. So this war is not only the ruin of the magnate, but has its evil effects on the ball player as well, although at present he sees nothing but glittering visions of pockets lined with goid. This drearn is likely to be shat- tered almost any time." AN OLD TIME FIGHTER. Johnny Cash of Milwaukee, after 1 being in the fighting game for twenty- I one years, points with pride to his pres- j ent physical condition and says there j is no reason why he should piaeo the stress of disadvantage upon Ins years j and not take on some or the younger fellow s of today m the middleweight crass. Cash was born m New York and was fighting by the tune he was out of his teens. In his earlv days he was much in evrderrce at Billv Edwards well known place. There he met Steve Tay lor. Mho once attained a great deal of lame, and boxed him four rounds at a benefit with no decision. A feature ot his fighting career has "MR. BLUEBEARD." been that any phase of the game suited him any rules, any conditions, gloves or no gloves. Today he shows the ef fect of such work. He is somewhat battle scarred, but believes he is no place near the realm of retirement be cause he can train. "When a man can train," he says, "like I can, right up to condition, it shows that he is no place near out of it. and this is just what I can do." One seldom sees in a man of his years an eye that is sufficiently keen and bright to remind one of a youth of twenty. In build he has probably lost nothing, for lie seems to have preserved all his points and proportions. What stands in Canadian prize ring annals as the longest fight was seventy five rounds, fought by Cash and Jack Mot Hade at Montreal. It was with small gloves and resulted in a draw. "THE DOG OF FASHION." Show dogs are now at the height of their popularity, and no breed is attracting- more attention than the spir ited, fox faced Pomeranians. These little canine beauties have become the "dag of fashion," and society people in practically every large city in the coun try have joined the ranks of owners. The Pomeranian was introduced into this country several years ago by Mrs. C. Hartley Williamson of 44 West Kighty-fourt h street. New York, at one time secretary of the Ladies' Kennel association and who was one of that fa mous organization's charter members. Mrs. Williamson has a splendid kennel of "Poms" and breeds them with more than ordinary success. She terms her dogs "Lakewood Pomeranians" and en ters them in shows under that appella tion. Mrs. Williamson introduced the"Pom" into America from England, where it A LAKEWOOD POMERANIAN PRIZE WINNER. has long been a favorite pet dog. She brought twelve puppies to the United States in 18a!? and made entries in sev eral large shows, and it was in this mann"r that the attractive breed be came widely known throughout the country. The University of California and Ice land Stanford are making efforts to or ganize an intercollegiate regatta on the Pacific coast. pa f FlvMbL V Oh SPORTIR 5LLOWERS of the grand circuit everywhere are talking about the changes which go into effect at the opening of the coming light harness season. Not m many years have such important altei ations been made, and the influence on the year s events is a matter of conjec ture. Terre Haute drew out of the affairs of the "big circle" because the turf so lons considered their city discriminated against, in the matter of dates. The best they could obtain from year to year was a period late in the season, in the middle of September, when the weather was apt to be unpropitious and when interest was on the wane. Last season the Terre Haute association lost considerable money through the post ponement of races on account of heavy rain. And then, again, the city is clear ly at a disadvantage from a geograph ical viewpoint. It is outside the actual zone of grand circuit activity, and many owners and trainers hesitated to spend the large sums required to transfer their stables hundreds of additional miles. The Kamonn Kiie Tack. The famous kite track at Terre Haute, over which Nancy Hanks went to her sensational mark (2:04). will be used for a meeting run independently of the grand circuit or any other organization. Another city that will be missing is Glens Falls. N. Y. This was decided re cently when a committee appointed to raise the $3,000 cash .guarantee failed to obtain the required amount. Conse quently no representative was sent to the meeting of the stewards at Boston, where the schedule for the coming sum mer was outlined Application for dates will be made in the Mohawk val ley (N. Y.) circuit, and a meeting will probably be held in July. I.ifirht HarneMN Talk In BnKImore. Baltimore horsemen are taking a. great interest in preparations for the j circuit meets. They have long been en- j thusiastic admirers of the light harness horse, and the runners, too, have come in for a large share of attention. The j Haltimoreans expect to pull off a coup j with the game black mare Myra, which j has just begun training under Daniel Kane. The mare is popular with the j knowing ones in the Oriole City. She I will make her first start at Detroit in j July and then go over the circuit. Myra has been closely watched, and her pri vate trials last fall convinced keen ob servers that she will be one of the sen sations of the season. She is six years old and is by Empire Wilkes, sire of j Bessie" Bonehill, 2:054. who, jointly with Lottie Lorraine, held for many years j the world's record for mares. Her own- er has refused J10.000 for her. Pretty good, that, for a green un. FitZHliiiinonK and Ilyan. The challenge which Bob Fitzsim mons sent to Tommy Ryan of Kansas City may well be said to be the most wonderful event in prize ring affairs of recent years. Think of it, ponder over it, then try to forget it. Put Bob into the ring with Ryan, and in four-fifths of the first half of the opening round we would probably see our esteemed friend Mr. Ryan in a lifelike imitation of a dy ing gladiator. We all admit that Tom my knows a thing or two about boxing in fact, it is alleged in certain quar- I ters that he is aware of at least three i things in this connection; he is fast, he is game, he is a good ring general but when he butts into the top notch divi- J sion illuminated by Jeffries, Corbett, Fitzsimmons and the rest it must be ac knowledged that he is somewhat out of place, just as a codfish would be on the top of Bunker Hill monument. Fitz must be anxious indeed to get back into the ring, or is it all a play for more publicity in an endeavor to secure j a few score more columns of advertis- j ing for the Jeff ries-Fitz exhibition troupe, unlimited? If he really wants to fight again why doesn't he challenge Kid j Lavigne. Frank Erne or some other j small man with more past than future? 1 Better still, let him take on a few of the big, brawny lads weighing about 119 pounds and averaging about seventeen years of age who are to take part in the j annual championships of the Amateur Athletic union. Jf any of these sug gestions are thought well of by Fitz, I sincerely trust that he will not hesitate to "paste them in his hat." It is a pleasure unalloyed and untarnished to aid deserving people. f ritehers Present and Paat. The American league promises Jack Chesbro $8,000 for next season. The man w ho pitched gilt edged ball for the Pittsburg Pirates will thus receive $:j3:-!.:!3 a game, provided he plays in two games a week. Averaging six balls to the batter, with thirty-six men up at the bat, he will receive Sl.S.a every tiitie he sends the hall to the plate. One fea ture of Chesbro's work is that he can pitch three times a week if necessary without tiring his arm. This last af fliction is the bugaboo of the average twirler. Chesbro, already well fixed with the world's goods, will be the high est paid pitcher in the country. John t'larknoii and Otliers. Looking back to the old days of John Clarkson, Tim Keefe, Charley Iladbourne, Ed Crane. Charley Sweeney and other famous twirlers, one cannot help feeling that Chesbro and other star pitchers of the present time by compar ison lie upon a bed of roses. When Radbourne was a member of the crack Providence team in the Na tional league, he was called on to pitch almost every day. and his pay was nothing like the amounts handed out of the safe nowadays to the slab artists. To be sure, "Old Rad" had to send the sphere but fifty feet, but he was con fronted by some of the best batsmen ever seen. Day after day he pitched winning games. His fame increased apace, and at the close of the season in 1S84, when Providence captured the Na tional championship, he was known from one end of the country to the oth er. Another wonderful pitcher was Clark son. Old timers will never forget his work in 1SS9. He was with Boston then, and the Bean Eaters were fighting New AT OR' G TOPICS York tooth and nail for the leadership. The management called on Clarkson to pitch several days in succession, and pitch he did with surpassing brilliancy. He had bewildering speed and superb control, but the severe strain had its ef fect, and although he stayed in the league several years longer, he never recovered his full power. It was nothing for Crane, Keefe et al. to pitch three and even four games every week. They were trained to do it, and it was com pulsory, too. for the big leagues in those days had no large strings of box men. HERMIS, THE CHAMPION THOROUGHBRED OF-THE EAST. They had two or three at the outside and depended entirely on them. Hie w Southern Baaeliall LtHKoe. Indications are that the new South ern Baseball league will be a winner. The men and cities interested in the enterprise are very enthusiastic con cerning it, and as the league is being initiated under the direction of com petent baseball authorities there i3 no reason why it should not experience a successful career. The new- league takes in eight cities. The salary limit of each club will be $2,500, with the understanding that the limit is to be increased to $:i.500 if de sired. Concerning the attitude of that aggressive minor league organization, the American association. Charles Frank, who is to manage the New Or leans team of the new circuit, has stat ed that the Americans will not seek to disrupt the league. He is certain that the association will consent to remain on amicable terms with the newly born league. The location and managers of the teams of the new Southern league are as follows: Charleston. Managers Charles Cam pau and Ed Pabst; Savannah, R. I. Gilks; Atlanta, Thomas O'Brien; Mont gomery, Ala., Lew- Whistler: Memphis, Theodore Breitenstein Birmingham, Ala., W. C. Pickens; New Orleans, Charles Frank; and Nashville, Newt Fisher. Manager Gilks. who goes to Savan nah, was formerly manager of the To ledo American association team. Thom as O Brien expects to do great things in Atlanta. Last year he was manager of the Albany team that captured the pen nant in the New York State league. Charles Campau, who is to be a side partner of Pabst at Charleston, is fa vorably known in baseball circles. He finished second to O'Brien in the New York State league last season with the Binghamton club. The remaining man agers are well known throughout the entire south. Breitenstein was former ly one of the best pitchers in the Na tional league. Graduate Creirn, There is a laudable movement in vari ous colleges to establish graduate crews. The scheme has been broached before, but never brought to a head. Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Cornell JACK MONROE. The famous Montana miner boxer who stood off Jeffr Sharkey in July have the matter under consideration, and Coach F.d Hanlan at the first named university has already begun to pick his men. It is highly probable that the much talked of "American Henley" meet on the Schuylkill river next summer will be enlarged by the addition of events for "grad" oarsmen rowing under the colors of their institutions, and tha races should prove highly interesting. ARTHUR ROCKWOUD. AN ANTI FOOTBALL BILL. The increased comment on the al leged brutality of football has resulted in the framing of a bill de- -gned to pro hibit the game which will soon be in troduced in the Nebraska legislature by Representative A. B. Cunningham of j Hamilton. The argument advanced in favor of the bill is that the game is a menace to life. limb and health and that it is not necessarily the best means of developing the minds of the student along lines that will benefit him in aft er life. To the credit of the legislators, it may be said that the majority of them de-. 1 sire to see football continue. The Ne i braska university team made a splen j did record last season, and this fact is j respoi sible for additional opposition to the measure, which under the most fa vorable circumstances would hardly be passed by a modern body of lawmakers. A familiar quotation might well be par aphrased as follows: "Breathes there a Nebraskan with soul so dead that never to himself hath said: 'Football is a royal game. Long may it live?-" QUAKER BASEBALL. Captain Walter Orbin says that the. L'niversity of Pennsylvania baseball team has brighter prospects this year than in 1902. What is particularly grat ifying to Captain Orbin and Coach Roy Thomas is the fact that the Quakers will be stronger than ever in the bat tery. It has. been in this department' of the game that the team has been the weakest in recent years. Many of the players of last year's club will be seen in their positions in the spring. WESTERN FOOTBALL COACHES. If the western colleges think that their football teams are superior to those of the east, their actions belie their words. There is not an instance of a leading university in the west em ploying a western coach. They one and all think that to turn out winning teams they must engage an eastern coach. Thus, if they do turn out strong elevens it must he said to be due to eastern methods and eastern men. TROUBLES OF UMPIRES. Umpires in the American league last year were compelled to use their au- i thority sixty-eight times in banishing rowdy players from the game and i grounds. St. Louis was the scene of j eighteen of these removals, while Phil i adelphia saw only five disturbances. Cmpire Carruthers was the chief ban- isher, with twenty-two "put outs" to his credit.

"Can't skassly say I do. salt not kasbly," he slowly replied, as he looked around. "You were in the business once your self. 1 believe. Tell me something bout it." Yes. I went into it like most of the rest of 'em around yei e. but it was a loos- time as-, and I had sich a narrer scape that I was Ufl to sell out the till and quit tne luzne Revenue otMeets get a f tor you I asked. 4 'Ic was a quare bizr.ess mighty inure he said, as he slowly filled his pipe "I scraped together money miff to buy a still and git it down yere. 1 set it up in that hit? ravine east of the cabin and began work. I had to have help, and I had to buy con, ami, of cose, all the men f'Oks around yere cum to know of the still.

Up Ship's -Side la Skirts. WOMEN INSPECTORS MAKE GOOD START. "You fro first," said Miss Helen A. Taylor, immigration inspector No. 1, to Miss Matilda v ichmann, No. 2. The ladder leading from the revenue cutter to the deck of the steamship Invernia was in front of them. Half a dozen cameras were leveled in their direction from the other end of the cutter a fact that seemed to disconcert them not at all. A compromise was effected. Miss Sarah H. Harrison, inspector No. 3, went up the ladder first, thereby gain- ins the record as the first woman boarding: officer to climb the side of an ocean liner in behalf of the United States government. The cameras snap ped simultaneously and continued to snap until the last of the three was aboard. On the way down the bay the three inspectors had explained that two oth ers should have come along-, but Miss M. C. Bachelor, after debating: over her new position for many days, had back ed out at the last moment and resigned while Miss Josephine Lassoe, for some reason or other, had not received notice that the first trip was to be made from the Battery at 7:30 o'clock. In regard to their costumes, or. uniforms, the thtee declined to give details. Miss Taylor said: "Our only uniform consisted of quiet clothing. Any color will do. As to the details that is none of the public's business." A little later, through an Intermed iary, a semi-official statement was given out as follows: "The only peculiarity of the uniform consists of divided skirts gathered at the knees." During the ascent of the ladder it was learned on good authority that two of the three adhered to raiment of that description, but the third wore some voluminous garments of black silk. These objects reached nearly to her shoe tops, and a. silken cord was gathered about them at the bottoms. The costumes, as far as they were in tended to be visible, were as follows: Miss Taylor--Black jacket and skirt, bla--'k silk muffler, laced high shoes, with gaiters; black felt fedora hat, with veil on top at half-mast; greenish brown gloves. Miss Wichmann Black, skirt and Astrakhan jacket, black felt fedora hat, with veil over her face; black cloth gloves, with purple flowers work ed on them. Miss Harrison Black skirt and brown jacket, brown hat and veil, the latter furled aloft. The Cunarder lvernia was the liner which the women intended to board, but the cutter circled around the har bor to every newly arrl-ed vesssel be fore attending to the big steamship. As the big lvernia was looming up in the haze toward Siaten Island a contro versy arose. One of the men inspectors said he thought two of the women ought to board the Cunarder, leaving the remaining one to attend to another vessel down in the Narrows. A chorus of feminine protests answered him. "We are all going on the lvernia," said Miss Taylor, emphasizing- her words with a stanm of her foot. "Yes, we are," assented the other two. As it was the first trit that was the reason the man inspector gave later he yielded. It was agreed that the women i should not be separated. About that i time the lvernia slowed up near by. I The cutter moved alongside. Everybody j began to prepare to climb the ladder, which the deckhands were holding in readiness to fasten to the liner's side, j The women gathered on the top deck i of the cutter. The photographers lined up a dozen feet away. Then it was that a new regulation j was put in operation as to the relations I of revenue cutters and ocean liners, j Heretofore those who boarded from a cutter were obliged to climb a Ions lad- j der. reaching all the way to the open deck of the steamship. But this time, after a few words between the officers of the cutter and the liner, a short lad- der was hoisted so that it reached only half way up to the deck. A gangway was opened in the side of the vessel. The ladder was to be pushed into one of the regular entrances to the lower closed deck, and the women were to have a climb of only ten or twelve feet. Later they denied indignantly that the change had been made for their benet. They would have preferred the long climb, really, and they hoped they'd never have their courage thus indirect ly questioned in future. "It's easier than hanging: a curtain," said Miss Wichmann. As a matter of fact, the women's climb was not much on a slant, for the I port they entered was just above the level of the top of the cutter. There was nothing remarkable about the way they climbed. Once in the vessel, they followed the customs officers and the men immigra I tion inspectors into the second cabin. There the men inspectors proceeded to work, passengers answering questions I as to their age, wealth, intentions, rela tives, past life, and general character. The three women inspectors grouped themse.ves tosether and looitect on. "Aren't you nervous?" Miss Wich mann whispered to Miss Taylor. But Miss Taylor answered with a scornful "No." It was recalled by a man inspector tin a low tone) that .Miss Taylor slapped a man's face on Elli3 Island about a year ago. The man was I an inspector, and she was assistant i matron on the island at the time. They I had some dispute, as a result of which his face ached for an hour. According to the plan under which the I five women were made inspectors their I duties are to interrogate female cabin passengers. If, for instance, a lonely woman without apparent means of sup port, and without a good explanation as to why she came to this country, is dis j covered, it is to be the new inspectors' duty to investigate the case. If the un- desirability of the woman traveler is j established she is to be sent to the port w hence she came. Another object of the new appoint I merits is to help lone female travelers who come here with really good inten tions, but are in such circumstances that they are at a loss as to how to take care of themselves immediately. After the new inspectors left the liner at the pier all of them said they were delighted with the prospect of real work in their next ship. A customs officer j who has been long in the service had this to say: "I don't believe any good will come of the scheme. The women inspectors are i expected to go about among the saloon j passengers and ask all sorts of embar I rassing questions. They are sure to arouse the ire of some person before they get through. Suppose a man comes over with his wife and these new in spectors begin to ask her Impertinent questions while he is not in sight? Or suppose they inquire into any respect able woman's business? Do you think folks are going to stand for that?" Miss Harrison saw a young woman apparently flirting with a young man en the fiier. The young woman was a passenger. After watching her for a time. Miss Harrison saw her buy a rail road ticket to San Francisco. That was the end of it. New York Times. 3 r 3 fi Ntt Li t.J IB IIISCELLMEOiiS AOS. FREE MESSENGER FOB. WASH PULL, an A. D.

There is probably no more picturesque and unique bit of financiering in history than that by which Nathan Rothschild made Stf.GuO.twO as a resuit of the battle of Waterloo, says Leslie's Weekly. Rothschild had followed Wellington during his campaign against Napoleon, and at Waterloo the "man of money" sat like a soldier in a shower of rain and bullets, watching- the battle. As soon as lie observed the arrival of Bluther and the rout of the French, Rothschild set spurs to his horse and 1 rode swiftly to Brussels. A carriase ;r I 1 whirled him to Ostend. and the next j u ANTKD-A competent woman who can morning he was at the Belgian coast. ntViS ApT The sea was so rough that he had to lllv m(jrinrigs 34 Harrison st. pay $i00 to a boatman to carry him j across the channel, and he landed at WANTED White girl for general houst Dover in the evening. The next morn- j work, ittt Harrison st. ing he was in London before the open- ing of the stock exchange. It was ANTEp-O.r.s for kitchen work. S.

He had outstripped all the four- gjri lo wait table and assist in house iers and messengers of the nation. There j work. 520 Harrison St. was no telegraph then. In answer to i the nnv)mi innuirios for h news nf WANTED White girl for general house- Wellington, Rothschild discreetly said nothing of the battle of Waterloo. Jn- stead, he sighed, and told of Bluchers previous defeat at Ligny, and said that as a result there could be little hope for Wellington. The gloomy report caused a panic on the exchange, and when the market had reached the bottom, Nathan Rothschild bought e'very thing that he could tind money for all being done quietly through his brokers. Then came the news of the battle of Waterloo, Bngland's victory, the final defeat of Napoleon. Securities of all kinds went up with a rush, and Nathan Rothschild, being well stocked at small cost, made great profits about $6,000,000. He was one of the five sons of the original Mayer Anselm Rothschild, who began his career in a little money loaning shop in Frankforf, Germany, and founded the richest family in the world.
